The popular idea that hog cannot hurt
itself by over feeding, is erroneous. Even
if fattening, it is better to give only what
can be eaten up clean at one time and at
regular intervals. If the feeding occurs at
stated times each day, the hogs will lie
down and sleep in the intervals, and this
will fatten them faster and be more health
full than keeping food before the animals
all the time. A mess of partially eaten
food left in his trough is dis.asteful even
to hog, and makes him eel less in guam
tity and with less relish than he otherwise
would

pound of butter from poor COW costs
twice as much as from good COW. The
facility for making money lies in the man
and not altogether in the times. Some
men will pay out 81 for feed to save 81 for
repairs. Some men will stop the cold bv
extra ratlons of corn, meal, and hay, when
more thrifty farmers will batten the cracks
of the barn. Instead of getting two crops
of clover in season the poor farmer gets
one inferior crop. The more succulent the
food the less the tax on the COW. You
cannot improve the bullock and the COW at
the same time. Mr.. Boynton has grown
sixty tons of sweet, dry corn fodder on six
acres by planting three feet between the
rows and six inches apart in the row.

POULTRY-BREEDING.
Cheap Poultry Houses.

Beginners in keeping poultry usually
start ont with exaggerated ideas of the
profit to be derived from this business. As
the buildings for housing fowls are among
the first items of expense, they are apt TO
be constructed on far too large and costly
n scnle. The inside work should be painted,
or better still, sheathed with tarred build
ing paper, in order to make it offensive to
yeImin. With two or three windows to
afford light and ventilation small poultry
bouse can be constructed for fifteen TO
twenty dollars, according as the poultry
keeper is handy with tools and able to do
much of the work himself. Then if after
one or two years more room is desired,
buiId another house on the same cheap
nattern. and far enough away so that the
fowl in each can be enclosed in separate
Yards. When these hem houses become old
il will be more and more difficult to keep
them from vermin. A cheap house Will
nav its cost in a very few years. and 1t may
sometimes be advisable to pull down and
huild anew, which course with expensive
bouses could not be afforded. The poultry
bonse should never be constructed IN a
harm. especially one where other farm stock
is kent. he vermin, which 1t Is almost
impossible to clear out of an old poultry
bonse. become an intolerable nuisance on
horses, cattle, or even swine.

Some fruit growers pick and Immediately
put the apples in barrels, head, and let
them remain in n suitable place until they
are sent TO market. Others pick and put
in boxes or bins III their cellars. The best
method is to have special apple house,
where the temperature can be nearly con-
troled, and then placed on shelves and left
until the proper time for selling arrives.
Mr.. Richardson, of Pepperill, built his
apple house on side hill, stoning three
sides and pointing tie wall with double
boarding and double doors in front, with
roof over the whole. Here he stored his
apples on shelves, allowing them to remain
until sold.

teaches u. Northern climates.

Of late years peach growing has become
very uncertain everywhere, ewing to the
prevalence of yellows. If this can be over
come by heavily manuring, and especially
by free use of potash salts, the fruit is more
certain to be valuable because of its liability
to disease. In the early history of all the
Northern States, peach trees were us easily
grown. as sure a crop aud as vigorous
though not so long lived, as apple trees.
Now few think of planting them, from fear
that they will be winter killed by the low
temperatures which often prevail. If the
ground is covered with snow, the trees are
safe at temperatures not more than twenty
to thirty below zero. BY consulting local
climatic records any one can determine for
himself whether these low temperatures
ale likely to be reached or exceeded in his
neighborhood. But wherever peaches We're
grown when the country was new 1t is worth
while trying TO grow them again. We do
not believe popular theory that our WIN
ters are growing colder. What makes
them seem so is the clearing away of
forests, which not only give the winds free
sweep, but prevents the ground from being
uniformly covered with snow. 1t is the
absence of snow under peach trees which
makes both fruit and trees more liable to
injury by cold than formerly. If
when the first snow falls in winter the
ground under peach trees is covered with
coarse manure, it will preserve a covering
over the roots all winter, and will also keep
back the buds, and thus prevent destruc-
ton of the blossoms by late frosts in
gnrinp.

The Tin and Sheet Iron Workers and
Roofers' Association, of Hudson County,
held their first annual ball at Cooper's
Hall. Wednesday night. A few months
ago, such an organization was not known
here. A number of the tin and other
workers, made up their minds that it was
time for them to have labor union among
themselves; and they sent to New York
for Mr.. Robert A. Nolan, who is quite
labor man there, and this organization is
the result. The ball opened with a grand
march which was led by the President of
the association, james Z. Moran and wife.
Immediately followed by Mayor Cleveland
and Miss Mary Ann Corbett, they being
followed by host of lesser lights. The
march was well executed, which was in
some measure due to the excellent music
furnished by Professor James Holden.
The dancing then commenced, and was
continued until nearly a. M, when order
was called, and the main feature of the
evenings amusement begsn. Mr.. Moran
stepped out upon the floor, and introduced
s'The friend of the workingman, the Hon
orable Orestes Cleveland, M iyor of Jersey
City" The Mayor stepped out and mace a
speech in which he said that he was the
friend of the working classes, that he was
sorry to say that there are two classes in
the nation, the wealthy, who never earned
dollar, and the poor, who are the really
wealthy class. because their wealth
lies in their hands aud hearts.
He said that he twas glad that he was
brought up among the working people"
At the end of his speech he went among
the crowd and hauled Mr.. Nolan iato the
middle of the floor; where he made him an
address, the burden of which was his
(Nolan's) general usefulness to the world
in general, and to the association in par
ticular. He ended by telling Mr.. Nolan
that he was no dude. He then presented Mr.
Nolan with a handsome gold headed cane
on behalf of the association. Mr.. Nolan
replied in short speech in which among
other things he informed his hearers that
he in time hoped TO be Mayor; (of what
city he did not say.) He was requested to
sing song Professor Holden struck the
FIRST note; he started. when Oh!m! He
broke down and fed to parts unknown. tt
is needless to say that the dancing WIS re-
sumed and lasted until next morning.
